You will certainly do more damage than the ivy trying to remove it, let the
winter wind and rain remove them.

I have had the same problem from last year a huge Ivy on one garden
wall. I have never been able to get rid of the little legs left over.
I even painted over them!!, I guess I just have to get used to the
effect on the wall.
